A few weeks ago we had a beautiful Saturday morning, the weekend every year when people are urged to put things on their sidewalks for free. Since I (and my offspring) can’t resist a yard sale, we set off in hopes of finding some neat treasures. We did find some cute stuff, although not many [...]
Eggplant…love it or hate it?
Posted by admin on June 23rd, 2011
I personally love the color Eggplant. I decided last night to do the eggplant block since I had what I thought was “very few” scraps to work with. Hmmm turns out I love that color, and I do have quite a few things that work. I’m feeling pretty good here…I have 3 completed blocks, and [...]

I finished rainbow block number 2 Peacock blue…they seem to be less intimidating as I keep working on it. I really need to catch up now that everyone else has finished theirs I think my next one will be Plum… it seems to be the most difficult. I’m jumping in.

Since the sun won’t come to me, I’ve brought the rainbows to my sewing room. Here’s my stash so far: I’m expecting two large [...]

When the sun shines…

Finally a beautiful, sunny, no-rain day! To bad that I’m stuck on the couch with a hot rice bag on my belly…silly mother nature. Well, I should probably make the best of it I guess…time to organize my projects and figure out what to start working on. I’m one of those people who start half [...]
Am I crazy? or is this deal way to good to be true?
Posted by admin on April 20th, 2011
So, I seem to have stumbled upon something in the “too good to be true” category… or maybe I’m nuts…you be the judge I suppose. I was shopping/browsing on Fabric.com…as I usually do during breakfast and coffee time at work, and I came across this priced at $8.98 now as far as I can tell, [...]
